SAFETY
ADVANCED
PREPARATION
Thinking Like a 21st Century Scientist / Engineer:
Laboratory Procedures and Equipment
Students should follow all lab safety procedures and rules for using glassware
and liquids. If a test tube is broken, do not let students clean up the broken
glass. The teacher should dispose of broken glass appropriately by placing in a
secure receptacle for proper disposal.
Note: Even though students are using water colored with food coloring, it is
important for the students to complete this lab as if they were using chemicals
in order to reinforce proper lab safety practices. (e.g. wearing safety glasses,
aprons)
Prepare 3 containers of colored water using food coloring (red,yellow,blue)
Gather supplies for Rainbow Lab. Each group will need:
-test tube rack containing 6 test tubes (for holding liquids)…label A-F
-3 small beakers (for RED, YELLOW, and BLUE liquids)
-1 small graduated cylinder (for measuring)
-1 large graduated cylinder (for measuring)
-1 bottle of water and large beaker (for rinsing)
-1 eye dropper/pipette (for transferring liquids)
-apron
-safety glasses
- lab tray
Objective: Students will learn about proper laboratory procedures and
equipment, as well as practice following lab safety guidelines
through a SpongeBob reinforcement worksheet and by completing
a laboratory activity involving measuring and mixing colored
liquids.

1. Students read the SpongeBob
Experiment Scenario. Circle all of
the lab/safety tools that
SpongeBob, Patrick, and Gary
use. List 10 safety rules that they
break.
2. Students complete the pre-lab
by reading about the
experiment and determining the
equipment needed to complete
the experiment. They will also
identify lab expectations and
lab safety rules for the Rainbow
Lab.

(Day 2)
Prepare 3 large containers of
Red, Blue, and Yellow water
using food coloring. (Note:
Make sure the water is
saturated with food color in
order to get better results).
Have all lab materials available
and ready for students to
gather and use for the lab.
Do not give the students much
guidance with the lab
directions, as one of the goals
for this lab is for students to be
able to read directions carefully.
Facilitate the Rainbow lab.
Discuss lab results.

The Bikini Bottom group has been learning safety rules during science class.
Read the paragraphs below to find the broken safety rules and underline each
one. How many can you find?
SpongeBob, Patrick, and Gary were thrilled when Mr. Krabbs gave their
teacher a chemistry set! Mr. Krabbs warned them to be careful and reminded them
to follow the safety rules they had learned in science class. The teacher passed
out the materials and provided each person with an experiment book. SpongeBob
and Gary flipped through the book and decided to test the properties of a mystery
substance. Since the teacher did not tell them to wear the safety goggles, they left
them on the table.
SpongeBob lit the Bunsen burner and then reached across the flame to get a test
tube from Gary. In the process, he knocked over a bottle of the mystery substance
and a little bit splashed on Gary. SpongeBob poured some of the substance into a
test tube and began to heat it. When it started to bubble he looked into the test tube
to see what was happening and pointed it towards Gary so he could see. Gary
thought it smelled weird so he took a deep whiff of it. He didn’t think it smelled
poisonous and tasted a little bit of the substance. They were worried about running
out of time, so they left the test tube and materials on the table and moved to a
different station to try another experiment.
Patrick didn’t want to waste any time reading the directions, so he put on
some safety goggles and picked a couple different substances. He tested them
with vinegar (a weak acid) to see what would happen even though he didn’t have
permission to experiment on his own. He noticed that one of the substances did
not do anything, but the other one fizzed. He also mixed two substances together
to see what would happen, but didn’t notice anything. He saw SpongeBob and
Gary heating something in a test tube and decided to do that test. He ran over to
that station and knocked over a couple bottles that SpongeBob had left open.
After cleaning up the spills, he read the directions and found the materials he
needed. The only test tube he could find had a small crack in it, but he decided to
use it anyway. He lit the Bunsen burner and used tongs to hold the test tube over
the flame. He forgot to move his notebook away from the flame and almost
caught it on fire.
Before they could do another experiment, the bell rang and they rushed to
put everything away. Since they didn’t have much time, Patrick didn’t clean out
his test tube before putting it in the cabinet. SpongeBob noticed that he had a
small cut on his finger, but decided he didn’t have time to tell the teacher about it.
Since they were late, they skipped washing their hands and hurried to the next
class.
